This guy is the target of more vitriol on twitter, social media (from all sides, from all creeds) than any other businessman in America.

Why? Did he obtain his wealth unfairly? Did he illegally or unethically procure it? The company he built will go down as one of the most transformative in all of human history.

I just don’t get why I should care? Im not being political, btw. In a general sense I just don’t know where the anger is coming from.

There are plenty of sleazy rich dudes to hate on, who got their money in immoral and illegal ways. Why hate on a dude that has made all of our lives better?

Because your average black person could have done that if not for systemic racism.

I don’t care about Bezos but we’ve allowed corporatism to take over capitalism. Too many large companies in bed with government to stifle new technology and competition and circumvent privacy rights

I hate him bc of the Washington Post slice of things. Why does he let his own paper help foster hate against the well off?

He literally built Amazon out of his garage. It’s the American dream

Illegally? No. Unethically? Absolutely.

Because Amazon is single handedly destroying businesses. And he's a douche.

How did I figure when I replied you'd be the one to ask after I haven't posted on here for weeks and weeks? Hope you're having a good one.

The treatment of the workers at their warehouses is plenty of answer for how.

Dude stop. We know you're a closet globalist who tries to feign being MAGA on the poliboard. Other people fall for it, but the rest of us don't. Bezos is an obstruction to America being great and is cancerous to free enterprise.

Single handedly? Wrong. Amazon is not walking into shops and destroying them

Consumers are opting for better alternatives that amazon offers. It’s called competition. It’s called what the magnificent economist Joseph Schumpeter coined “creative destruction”

Businesses don’t have a right to exist indefinitely in our market economy


You want to live in a nation where nobody tries to win, and everyone ends up an equal a-hole loser

For the same reason we can’t stand Mark Zuckerberg, they shite on and denigrate the middle class only after that same group of people made them multi-billionaires.

Because a lot of these people are materialistic in a religious way, which breeds deep envy and jealousy when they see someone who has more than them.
